Chapter 428: First Adventure Mission

The so-called clemat frog, although it is named after frogs, is also in the shape of frogs, but its strength is far more powerful than ordinary frogs.

The largest frog on the earth is the African giant frog living in the southwest of Cama, Africa, also known as the giant harmonic frog, which can reach more than 30 centimeters in length and weigh up to six or seven catties.

Even the devil frog, which appeared at the same time as the dinosaurs in prehistory on the earth, is only more than fifty centimeters long and weighs about twelve or thirteen pounds.

However, the wire frogs in this world are different, their body length can reach about one meter six, and even some male wire frogs can reach about two meters in length! In terms of weight, ordinary wire frogs can weigh about 100 catties, and those male wire frogs with a body length of about two meters can even weigh more than 180 catties!

After learning the news, there was silence in the Celestial Dragon Adventurer team.

Such a body length and weight are already comparable to human beings, and this alone is enough for them to pay attention to.

What's more, the reason why the wire frog is called the wire frog is that it has a special ability - they can spew out a strange silk thread from their mouth to entangle their enemies, and although this silk thread seems to be flexible, it is stronger than steel.

"I'll go~ Is this still a field chicken, shouldn't it be a spider that spits silk in his mouth?" Cheng Bowen, codenamed 'Mosquito', screamed dumbfounded.

Zhao Sidong said with a smile: "If they are easy to deal with, why should the person who issued the task take such a move, can't he catch it himself?" Okay, all in all, this iron frog is definitely not the harmless spicy frog you usually eat, and it is definitely not a pleasant thing to provoke them, so you must be mentally prepared before acting." ”

If you don't do it, you can't do it, in this strange world, they still have a lot to learn.

Fortunately, Zhao Sidong was prepared and threw out seven copies of the "Tang Empire Wilderness Survival Guide" to them, which he bought in the Adventurers' Association, and the price was very expensive, one of them cost ten taels of silver, which was enough for ordinary people to spend two or three years!

However, the so-called value for money, this book describes in great detail the distribution of animals and plants in various wild areas within the entire Tang Empire, as well as the efficacy of each plant, and the danger of each animal.

Of course, there are also methods of collecting various materials, and no matter what they are used for, the book has a fairly detailed description.

It can be said that I have a book in hand, and I have it all over the world, and for adventurers who spend most of their time in the wilderness, although the price of ten taels of silver is expensive, it is very worthwhile, because it can bring you more ten taels of silver. If you don't know this knowledge and lose your life in the wild, you won't be able to enjoy any amount of wealth.

"You guys take a good look at the part about the wire frog, I'll go buy something first. Before I come back, none of you are allowed to leave without permission, do you hear?" After Zhao Sidong gave the order, he dodged away and went to the market in Chiyang City to buy the items he needed.

The first is to eat, if you want to catch the clemat frog, you have to stay in the wild for a long time, and this dry food must be prepared more.

Fortunately, he had storage space available, and no matter how much he prepared, he didn't have to worry about spoilage, so he bought hundreds of fragrant and large meat buns in one go, as well as braised pork, chicken thighs and other meats, and bought a lot of alcohol.

A group of big men get together, how can you do without wine?

Although the degree of wine in this world is not as high as that of the earth's Chinese liquor, it is not far behind, and it is still made of pure grains, not the kind of blended wine, and the taste is soft and not top-notch.

In addition, I bought a lot of fire folds, tents, edible spices, changes of clothes, etc., to be honest, if it weren't for the storage space to carry these things with him, Zhao Sidong would never dare to buy so many things at one time.

After turning around, the gold in his hand was only spent more than ten taels, which was the result of his laziness to wait for the other party to find money, otherwise the cost would be even less.

Seeing that the time had reached the afternoon, Zhao Sidong didn't waste any more time, went back directly to find a few other people, took out the food and shared it with everyone, and then set off directly to find the wire frog.

According to the description in the "Wild Survival Guide of the Tang Empire", this wire frog has three settlements in the Tang Empire, one is in a valley adjacent to the imperial capital, the second is in a swamp on the southeast coast of the Tang Empire, and the third is in the Mingyue Gorge, about 150 miles northeast of Chiyang City.

The terrain of Mingyue Gorge is not much dangerous, but it is definitely not a place where the river is flat, the two mountains are ruthlessly separated by a meandering Tuojiang River, the apes on both sides of the river cliff are chirping, the birds are chirping, and it is a wonderful natural scene.

When Zhao Sidong came to Mingyue Gorge with seven companions who were about to become dead dogs, it was already the middle of the moon, and the rapid march for several hours on the way, only stopping once to eat in the middle, and then continuing to march rapidly after a short rest, if it weren't for the fact that everyone had already practiced in the army, maybe this long-distance run would have caused them to run and vomit blood.

Finally arrived outside the Mingyue Gorge, Zhao Sidong gave an order, and everyone slowly stopped as if relieved, each patting their sore legs, but they didn't dare to sit down and rest immediately.

"Alas, you still lack exercise...... Zhao Sidong shook his head and sighed with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel, and he struck these seven kings of soldiers who had shined in the international special forces competition to the ground.

But these seven unlucky eggs can't refute it - Zhao Sidong and them carry the same weight, leading all the way to the front, and when they arrive at Mingyue Gorge, their qi does not grow, their hearts do not beat wildly, and their faces do not change at all, what a terrible physical ability is this?

Most of the soldiers are upright and respect the strong the most, if you are stronger than him, he will obey you, and Zhao Sidong has repeatedly used his strong strength to impress them.

In other words, he is obviously a powerful immortal cultivator, but he pretends to be an ordinary mortal, and uses an immortal cultivator to bully real mortals, which is a little too shameless......

After resting in place for a while, Zhao Sidong asked them to find a suitable place to camp, and after lighting a bonfire, he looked around at everyone and said: "It's almost midnight, how to catch this wire frog, I believe you already know very well." Then, the next plan of action will be made by yourselves, I will not express any opinion, and the action will also be carried out by the seven of you throughout the whole process, and I will only observe. Alright, let's start making an action plan!"

The seven unlucky bastards, exhausted from tossing, looked at each other and had to accept the fact.

Fortunately, after all, they are all well-trained special elites, and they are very proficient in all kinds of military professional skills, such as combat planning or something, they can pull out a random person, and they can come up with a set of highly feasible plans according to local conditions.

In the original team, Qiao Yizhou, the captain codenamed 'King Kong', is the first think tank, don't look at his appearance, he looks like rudeness, but in fact, he is delicate in his heart, extremely observant, and logical, which can be called a model of big man and great wisdom.

And Zhao Sidong's distant cousin, Zhao Sizhong, codenamed 'Bat', is also an extremely flexible person, except that the overall situation is slightly worse than Qiao Yizhou, and he is not inferior in other aspects.

But...... It's a pity that these two people have not returned to the team and are still separated, so among the remaining seven people, it is the turn of Lang Chengwang, codenamed 'Sky Wolf', and Yu Ziming, codenamed 'Fisherman', to take the lead.

Lang Chengwang hesitated for a moment, and then spoke first: "Since this is the case, then I will say a few words first." According to the situation recorded in that guide, most of the wire frogs here in Mingyue Gorge live in groups, so my opinion is that we should pick the lone line frog as much as possible, and start quickly, otherwise once we alarm the frog group, we will be in trouble. ”

Yu Ziming nodded in agreement, "That's right, although we haven't fought with the Wire Frog yet, but from the records in the guide, it is not difficult to see that their combat effectiveness is not much inferior to ours, and we are naturally not afraid of fighting alone, but if we fall into a melee, I am afraid that we will not be able to guarantee that we will be foolproof...... After all, this world is still too strange to us, and many methods that work very well on earth will be blind when they get here. ”

After listening to his words, Yu Xingjin, codenamed 'Cannon', slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, yes, I am best at guns and artillery strikes, but now I don't have the guy by my side, and I am really a little uncomfortable with cold weapons!"

Since they came to this world inexplicably, the guns and other modern hot weapons carried by the team have been hidden in a big mountain for secrecy, and everyone is only heading east with portable communicators and tactical daggers, so when they encounter the city guards of Chiyang City, they are captured.

If there were guns in hand at that time, no matter how strong the soldiers of the city guard were, they would never be able to avoid the attack of bullets and bombs!

But then again, when they first encountered a small group of city guards, the squad did not kill them, otherwise, the city guards would not have caught up so quickly, in the final analysis, this squad did not belong to the kind of beastly soldiers who had a habit of killing, but a division of benevolence and righteousness, a mighty army.

The rest of the people also complained that although they were all proficient in martial arts, they were not best at using cold weapons to fight the enemy, and now that they were in a strange world, many of their tactics could not be used, and it was inevitable that they would feel a little constrained.

But complaining is complaining, and the next step is to use your brain to think and try to come up with the most perfect plan of action.

A few people discussed word by word, although the original plan seemed a little messy and full of flaws, but as everyone continued to supplement and discuss, the plan became more and more perfect, and even Zhao Sidong, who was listening silently on the side, couldn't help but nod secretly.

Time passed quietly in the heated discussion, and when the tiger roaring ape in the Mingyue Gorge gradually fell silent, Zhao Sidong looked up at the sky and interrupted everyone's discussion: "Okay, the time is almost up, and the discussion you just now has almost reached a perfect situation, so next, let me see your execution." All of them, check your gear, and get started in three minutes!"

"Yes, Captain!" reflexively jumped up and saluted him, and then went about their work.

Three minutes passed in a flash, and with Zhao Sidong's low 'departure', seven special elites full of expectations scattered and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Sidong stayed in place, but his divine sense followed everyone closely.

After all, this is not a game, there is no chance of resurrection when he dies, although he is powerful, but he has not yet reached the point where he can really come back to life - especially in this strange world, whether some of the relevant rules are the same as the earth remains to be verified, in case this world cannot allow souls to exist alone, then he can only stare dryly.

Fortunately, the luck of these seven people led by Lang Chengwang and Yu Ziming was not bad, there were no mistakes in their plans, and the action was very smooth.

Soon, they found a lone wire frog on the edge of Mingyue Gorge.

This guy who dares to stay alone is obviously a big man, and his body length should be about two meters, and his weight is about two hundred pounds.

A few night owl cries that were difficult to distinguish between true and false sounded, but this was Lang Chengwang's secret signal, every soldier of the Tianlong Special Forces knew ventriloquism, and it was too simple for them to learn what a bird was called.

Perhaps too confident in his own strength, the wire frog had no sense of vigilance at all, and lay on a boulder near the river, without any shelter around, allowing the moonlight to sprinkle on its body.

The most agile fighter was Cheng Bowen, codenamed 'Mosquito', who quietly approached the boulder where the Clematis lived, sank for a few seconds, and then suddenly got up, approaching the Frog from behind with unusual lightness like a night mosquito.

The wire frog, who didn't notice the uninvited guest behind him, was still squinting and lying there basking in the moon, looking lazy.

Suddenly, its eyes widened, its head tilted as if it was sniffing something, and its big white belly shook lightly a few times, and then it seemed to have discovered something, and with a soft 'coo' sound, it threw itself towards the riverside sand below the boulder.

Click――

After a not-so-pleasant crisp sound, the figure of the wire frog returned to the boulder, and a shallow pit appeared on the sand, and a few pieces of dark red broken scale armor lay quietly in the pit, as if to tell people what had just happened.

A red turtle that is a specialty of the Bright Moon Gorge was captured by a wire frog.

The flesh of the red turtle is not very tasty, but that is for humans.

In the eyes of the clemat frog, in addition to the extremely rare snow-scaled silkworm in the world, the red turtle is probably the best thing to eat.

The reason why there are a large number of wire frogs living in Mingyue Gorge is, in the final analysis, because there are abundant red turtles here, and every delicious red turtle is enough to make the wire frogs do impulsive things.

Just now, the wire frog flew to the sand and grabbed a sleeping red turtle, only the size of a basin red turtle was bitten by it and swallowed the tortoise shell, and when it returned to the boulder, it basically lost the ability to move - the teeth of the wire frog are not suitable for chewing, so they often chew a few times and then swallow directly into the stomach, and then lie still like a snake for a period of time to digest.

A still, immobile clemat frog is basically equivalent to a harmless little frog.

In this case, Cheng Bowen did not act rashly, but waited quietly for a few minutes, and after making sure that the clemat frog had begun to digest the red turtle in its abdomen, he quietly raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of torn mint leaves on the clemat frog.

He had excellent hiding ability, but he was actually lying less than a meter behind the clemat frog, but the thick clemat frog was stunned and didn't notice his existence.

The torn mint leaves fell like a goddess scattering flowers, and the huge frog eyes of the wire frog showed a hint of fear, but it was too late to dodge, so he had to watch those mint leaf fragments fall towards him, and at the same time smelled the strong stimulating breath from the mint leaf fragments, and suddenly rolled his eyes, drooling and fainted.

Clematis frogs like to eat red turtles and will fall into a coma when they smell mint leaves...... This is all clearly recorded in the "Tang Empire Wilderness Survival Guide", and Lang Chengwang verified its effectiveness when they used it for the first time.

After capturing the frog alive, Xie Hexu, codenamed 'Monk', did not hesitate to kill it, and then dug out a pair of basketball-sized frog eyes from the bloody frog's head, which was their first trophy.

Now, there are only nineteen pairs of wire frog eyes left.

I don't know if it's their luck is really good, or something else, in short, there are really a lot of lone wire frogs in Mingyue Gorge this night, and they easily found more than a dozen hunting targets.

However, these dozen goals were not all completed, because several of them were relatively close, so Lang Chengwang and the others had to wait patiently until the best time to start.

They didn't want to alarm the frog group for some reason, in that case, what choice would they have but to run away immediately?

For this reason, when the first rays of sunlight appeared on the edge of the day, Zhao Sidong ordered a suspension of the operation, and the group withdrew to a shallow beach in the Mingyue Gorge and camped.

The reason why I chose to camp here is because it is downwind and will not easily cause trouble, second, because the terrain here is open, it is difficult to be attacked, and third, because it is very close to the river, and the sand on the beach is a little soft, so it is very convenient to catch red turtles nearby as bait.

Zhao Sidong looked at the sky, and then gave an order: "Okay, don't go too far, just take a good rest around here, the wire frog rarely comes out to move during the day, but this is not absolute, in other words, don't relax your vigilance too much, once you meet the wire frog that comes out to move, it is definitely a single one! If you can still let them run away in this case, then you don't call yourself a special elite anymore!"

"Yes, Captain!" everyone echoed in unison.
